I ran into this problem trying to figure out how to make sure that styling alternate rows in a table did not become messed up when tablesorter actually sorted the table.
In googling around I figured out that you had to use the zebra widget call in your initial tablesorter contructor. But no one said exactly how to get the zebra widget to apply the alternate row styling.
The simple answer is to create an “.odd” class for the alternate rows.
As an example
div.data table td { padding: 3px; }
div.data table tr.odd td { background: #e6f2ff;}and the jquery call is …
$("table.data").tablesorter({widgets: ['zebra']}); December 10th, 2008
I was trying to find out how the NY Giants did last night, so I could incorporate it into a nice little jibe I was going to hurl at a friend of mine, so I went in and typed “NY Giants” … into the search box, to start the ever familiar process of clicking on links and backing up until I found what I wanted.
Guess what came up?
Its like they read my mind! 
Funny, but it illustrates *exactly* why Google is kicking everybody’s ass at search.
They write software that anticipates the needs of its users.
You should be asking yourself if your software, business, employees or personal service does the same.

New release announced
Global queuing
We recently announced that we’ve developed a feature called global queuing. This feature was requested by 37signals. When global queuing is on, Phusion Passenger will load balance all incoming requests into the first available backend process. This is especially useful if you have long-running requests, e.g. requests that perform heavy calculations and can take several seconds to finish.
Fixed compatibility with the latest Rake version and RubyGems version
When compiling Phusion Passenger using the latest Rake, compilation commands are not shown while various warnings are being shown. This has been fixed. Various RubyGems deprecation warnings have also been fixed.
Running background programs from within the Rails app won’t freeze the request
In previous versions of Phusion Passenger, if one executes
system(”sleep 10 &”)
from within the Rails app, then Phusion Passenger won’t finish the request until 10 seconds have gone by. In other words, Phusion Passenger would wait until the background program has finished. This issue is caused by file descriptor leaks, and has been fixed.
Fixed Mac OS X crash
A Mac OS X related crash has been fixed.
Various bug fixes
The title says it all. If you experienced any kind of problems with previous releases, please try this release as the bug may have been fixed.
